Hong kong one dollar cud error??

 

Melted with a flame. The spelling of "Dollar" is on the coin. How did you mess that one up?

 

Was typing fast. talking to my son at the same time. Oh well . Not everyone is perfect. and I am here asking about a coin ,not trying to get complaints about my Spelling.

 

dont see how this was melted with flame

 

Looks like a metal dripped onto it. If it was a die break then the color of the planchet would appear the same.

 

(Once) molten solder?

 

Solder is what I'm thinking.

 

Solder? Like someone put solder on after the coin was minted??

 

.

 

YUP! A drop of hot solder was allowed to fall onto your coin sometime AFTER​ it left the mint.

 

It was probably soldered to something at one time. Belt buckel, some other piece of jewelery etc.

 

I would have to agree that most likely, that is what happened. Even on the pictures, the metal laying on it looks different from that of the coin.
